Chapter 274 Farewell
After marveling at the mysterious and fantastical stone wall, Bai Ke decided to take care of business first.
He gathered his spiritual energy in his hands, which transformed into blades, and he completely sliced off the stone wall.
After he put the cut stone wall into his storage ring, the system suddenly issued a notification:
"Ding! The host has obtained a special rare item. Would you like to appraise it?"
Bai Ke's first reaction upon hearing the system's prompt was: "Do I need to pay evil points?"
"Special object identification is free of charge; the service host does not need to pay any fees."
Upon hearing the word "free," Bai Ke readily replied to the system, "No evil points? Then go ahead and appraise it."
"Initiating analysis, please wait..."
"Ding, identification complete. This item belongs to the inscribed type of law insight, which has research value for the system. The host can make the following choices:"
1. Submit this item to the system as research material. You will receive 100000 Evil Points as a reward.
2. After making a copy of the item, submit the sample to the system. You will receive a reward of 20000 Evil Points.
"Then let's choose the second option: make a rubbing and submit a sample. I still have a use for this stone wall, so I can't submit the original."
"Host's request received. Immediately beginning the process of copying this item..."
The stone wall emerged from the storage ring on its own and floated in the air.
A gray light automatically shot out from Bai Ke's brow, scanning the stone wall from top to bottom like a 3D scanner. Then the gray light contracted, forming a palm-sized phantom image of the stone wall, and disappeared back into Bai Ke's brow.
"Ding! Imprinting complete, sample retrieved. Host rewarded with 20000 Evil Points. Please continue your efforts and find more unique artifacts!"
Bai Ke easily earned 20000 evil points and happily hummed a song as he flew away from Lingjiu Palace.
Upon arriving at the spatial altar again, Bai Ke activated it and instantly returned to Tiandu Peak.
Looking up, I realized it was already morning. I thought to myself: Now that the spatial passage has stabilized, the flow of time has begun to return to normal.
He then took out a communication talisman and sent a message to Ah-Can: "Set off now and bring everyone to the summit of Tiandu Peak."
After sending the message, he let his divided soul continue meditating and cultivating spiritual power, while he took out the Nine-Star Jade Bamboo and played with it idly.
Just then, an old man walked over from a distance. Bai Ke looked closely and saw that it was Gong Yu, the head elder of Tiandu Peak, who had participated in the killing of Bai Ke's original body before he was possessed due to the flaw in his cultivation technique.
With a ruddy complexion, Gong Yu walked up to Bai Ke and revealed what he thought was a kind smile.
Seeing his pathetic appearance, Bai Ke inwardly scoffed. But out of courtesy, he put away the Nine-Star Jade Bamboo and greeted him, "Good morning, Elder Gong... Elder Yu."
"Good morning, Junior Nephew Bai. Aren't you currently residing at the Precept-Bearing Cliff? What brings you back to Heavenly Capital Peak today?"
"Oh, I just missed the place I used to live, so I came back to take a look."
"Is that so... Junior Nephew Bai is truly a sentimental person."
Gong Yu certainly didn't believe such nonsense. He had only sensed two spatial fluctuations here, so he came to check what was going on. He didn't expect to run into Bai Ke here.
"Elder Gong, you seem to be in good spirits. Are you up so early to come here and enjoy the scenery?"
"Hehe, yeah, yeah," Gong Yu replied with a smile, taking advantage of the situation. He actually stood there looking around, pretending to admire the scenery.
Heh, you idiot! This old geezer greeted me and still isn't leaving. What's he up to? I have important business to attend to later, don't just stand here like an idiot and get in my way!
That's what Bai Ke thought. Seeing how enthusiastically Gong Yu was putting on his act, Bai Ke followed suit and leisurely began to appreciate the scenery.
After exchanging awkward glances, Gong Yu finally couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Junior Nephew Bai. I heard your score isn't as high as Lin Xiu's. The Holy Son Election results will be announced the day after tomorrow. Why aren't you worried at all? Did you have some powerful backup plan?"
So that old geezer was trying to probe my abilities...
"Of course there is, Elder Gong, would you like to know?" Bai Ke said mysteriously.
“Very good, why don’t you tell me about it, so I can analyze it for you.” Gong Yu’s eyes lit up, and he adopted the posture of a good teacher and helpful friend.
Bai Ke cleared his throat and drawled, "I...I...I won't tell you!"
Upon hearing this, Gong Yu angrily flung his sleeve and cursed, "You brat! I meant well, and you've made a fool of me!"
"Hehe, what are you going to do about it?" Bai Ke acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
He then pulled out the sect leader's token given to him by Ning Fengyi, held it up in front of Gong Yu's face, and said in a nonchalant manner, "I have important business to attend to. Elder Gong, please cooperate and leave immediately!"
Gong Yu trembled with rage, pointing at Bai Ke but unable to utter a word. It was a crucial time for the Holy Son election, and he couldn't bring himself to bully the stronger one. The sect leader's token was still standing before him; he had no choice but to wave his sleeves and leave in a huff.
After a while, A-Can and the others arrived and happened to see Gong Yu leaving in a huff. A-Can couldn't help but go up to him and ask, "What's wrong with that old man Gong Yu? He looks like he's eaten shit."
Bai Ke smiled but didn't answer A-Can's question. Instead, he took out the boundary anchor, summoned a teleportation portal, and called everyone over, saying loudly, "There are a few things I need to clarify with you during this exploration of the small world. First, the highest level in this small world is not the Golden Core Realm, but the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Apart from Ah-Can, who already knew, everyone else was shocked.
"Secondly, once you arrive in the small world, you will find that with your cultivation level, you can completely crush the entire small world. But I want you to abide by one principle: do not kill innocent people indiscriminately! The main focus should be on finding opportunities and treasures and gaining experience."
"Third, I want you to stay in this small world for at least six months. You can only come back after you break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" everyone shouted excitedly, eager to immediately enter the small world and unleash their skills, exploring to their heart's content!
"Alright, line up here. I'll cast a spiritual energy barrier for you. Be careful, as you might encounter spatial turbulence when you first enter the small world's spatial passage." Bai Ke added a final, concerned reminder.
Upon hearing this, everyone lined up to receive the spiritual energy blessing and then entered the teleportation portal one after another. When it came to A-Can, Bai Ke kicked him directly into the teleportation portal and laughed and scolded, "What do you need spiritual energy blessing for, you body cultivator? Hurry up and go in."
Ah-Can, scratching his head and looking aggrieved, walked into the spatial passage.
The last one to leave was Su Ziyuan. She kept her head down and didn't say a word. Bai Ke kissed her forehead and silently helped her inside.
Just before the portal closed, Su Ziyuan's tearful voice still drifted out:
"wait me back!"
